The Present Recession Affects Women More Than Men
If men were the first to lose their jobs in the heart of the economic crisis in the United States, a study now shows a(0). B... trend, women,【C1】______mothers today, are suffering the collateral effects, while the American economy is back on the road to growth.
According to a report by the Joint Economic Committee of American Congress, American men were the most affected at the beginning of the crisis as over-【C2】______in most key sectors such as building and industry.

A obvious B reverse C reverent D opposite
【C9】
选项
A、relying
B、depending
C、dependent
D、reliable
答案
C
解析
综合考查题。根据上下文的意思,这里“be+缺失词+on”表达“依赖,依靠”的含义。而这个概念或含义一般不用于进行时,故排除A项和B项。再将C项和D项进行词义辨析。C项构成的be dependent on表示“依靠,依赖”的含义,而D项reliable则经常单独使用,常用于修饰人,表示“可靠的,可信赖的”,后不常带介词on。故C项为正确答案。
